Overview

About 8 Brixton Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Brixton Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD24 4DX). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £500,000 sits 106.7% above the 2007 sale of £241,950. At 105 m² it's 24.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 32 EPCs).
